Following their divorce finalized in January, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship has grown increasingly strained, overshadowing their professional collaboration. As the October 10 theater release of Kiss of the Spider Woman approaches, tensions mount amid the ongoing Ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez feud marked by poor communication and frustration. Lopez reportedly faces significant difficulties reaching out to Affleck, whose silence has deepened the rift between them.
Minimal Responses and Legal Channels Define Their Interactions
Sources close to the former couple reveal that Affleck, 56, hardly replies to Lopez’s messages, often leaving her requests unanswered or responded to with minimal effort such as an emoji. An insider explained,
“99.9 percent of the time, it’s all being handled by his lawyers or assistants,”
highlighting how indirect the communication has become. This lack of engagement has caused Jennifer Lopez mounting irritation and emotional distress.
Reportedly, Lopez even attempted to contact Affleck on his birthday, only to receive no response, which has worsened the tension. The actor’s infrequent replies tend to be brief and noncommittal, further frustrating the singer and actress, as the two navigate both personal and professional responsibilities in tandem.
Joint Obligations Amid Lingering Division
Despite their legal separation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez continue to confront shared matters such as managing the $68 million Beverly Hills property they co-owned during their marriage. Additionally, the pair must promote Kiss of the Spider Woman, a musical film led by Lopez but produced by Affleck’s production company. This professional obligation requires cooperation that their fraught personal dynamic complicates significantly.
Insiders say the communication gap—ranging from minimal responses to the increasing silence—has left Lopez feeling exasperated. The challenges in maintaining even a functional dialogue ahead of their film’s premiere demonstrate how the Ben Affleck Jennifer Lopez feud continues to affect both their personal lives and careers.
